A car accident, our family of three crossed

Zhou Yin followed the instructions and explored the slums in the north of the city at night. The deceased lived in the slums.

It was a small courtyard with only three houses, and it was very simple.

At this moment, the yard was quiet. I guess everyone who was still alive had gone to bed.

He easily entered the house where the family kept the body of the deceased and lifted the white cloth covering the body. Before he could do anything, he heard some subtle noises. He could only temporarily cover the body with the white cloth and jumped onto the beam of the house to hide.

Just as he had hidden his tracks, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, a dark shadow sneaked in, and then quickly closed the door.

Zhou Yin was unsure of the visitor's purpose, so he didn't plan to reveal his whereabouts for the time being. Instead, he observed the man's movements quietly.

The man did the same as him, lifting the white cloth and searching the body for something. After a while, he seemed to have got the answer he wanted, and covered the body with the white cloth again, and left quietly as he came.

Zhou Yin observed secretly and could probably guess that the man came here for the same purpose as him, so after the man left, they secretly followed him.

I thought I had done a good job of hiding, but I didn't expect to be discovered.

As soon as he left the slums, Zhou Yin realized that he had lost his way. Feeling a little annoyed, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.

He had no time to turn around, but the soft sword at his waist was already in his hand. He subconsciously blocked and avoided the attack.

Afterwards, he turned the tables and attacked the man. In an instant, the two men started fighting and soon they had fought several rounds.

When Zhou Yin saw the other party wielding a long whip, he immediately thought of his identity, so he jumped back and spoke first, "Wait a minute, sir."

The long whip missed, making a crisp sound. The man stopped and stepped back a little.

After both of them stopped, they finally had time to look at each other straight in the eye, and at first glance, they recognized each other.

"It's you."

"Oh! It's me." Zhou Yin chuckled, put away the soft sword, and teased: "Nighthawk Nineteen? You really showed no mercy when you attacked!"

He had discovered when they were fighting just now that her long whip was covered with barbs. If he had not been alert enough, the first sudden attack of the whip would have torn his skin apart.

Qingshuang ignored his teasing, put the whip on her waist, and emphasized lightly: "My name is Qingshuang now."

"Yes, Miss Qingshuang." Zhou Yin raised his eyebrows, changed his address, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

"Very similar to you." Qingshuang replied calmly and walked forward.

Zhou Yin followed her closely and continued to ask: "What was the result? What was the cause of death?"

He knew that Qingshuang was skilled in both medicine and poison, and this kind of thing would not be difficult for her.

Qing Shuang paused and turned to look at him, "Haven't you already checked it? Why are you asking me?"

"I haven't even started checking yet! And you're here." Zhou Yin coughed twice awkwardly.

Qingshuang sneered and continued walking forward, but she did not hide anything and told him the results of her investigation.

"The deceased died of arsenic, but she was already terminally ill before her death. Even if she hadn't been poisoned, she wouldn't have lived long."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Judging from the signs of poisoning, the deceased drank a large amount of arsenic and died. The arsenic content in the lip balm is not equal to the amount of poisoning in the deceased."

Zhou Yin stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then concluded, "In other words, the deceased drank the poison himself or was forced to drink it in order to frame him."

Afterwards, he couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically: "It is indeed a good deal to exchange a dying person for wealth."

Qingshuang didn't say anything else, but her silence was considered as her tacit agreement with Zhou Yin's statement.

The two walked all the way to the city gate and found that it was closed. Zhou Yin said, "It seems that you can only stay in the city tonight."

Qingshuang glanced at the closed city gate, was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked back silently.

When she came to investigate under the order of Hang Shuheng, she had anticipated such a situation. It wasn't that a city gate could trap her, but it was nothing serious, so there was no need to alarm the soldiers guarding the city.

When Zhou Yin saw her turn around and walk back, he quickly followed her, like a koala, following her wherever she went.

She never spoke, and he was a chatterbox, so he couldn't help but want to talk to her. However, out of ten questions he asked, she would only reply with two at most, which was considered giving him face.

When they reached the street where Zhou's residence was located, Zhou Yin suggested, "I'm going to go back and report to the shopkeeper. Miss Qingshuang, since we've come this far, why don't you go back with me? Perhaps you can tell me more details."

Qingshuang thought about it for a moment and agreed. After all, they were doing the same thing and it didn't matter who they told it to.

So when Zhou Huan saw Qingshuang coming back with Zhou Yin, he was very surprised.

After asking, he found out that Hang Shuheng had the same idea as him, so he sent Qingshuang to investigate the cause of death of the deceased.

After learning the cause of death, Zhou Huan asked Qing Shuang, "What are your plans, young master?"

Qing Shuang did not hide anything and said truthfully: "The young master intends to go to court as a lawyer to defend Madam Mei."

Zhou Huan nodded. Hang Shuheng had the same idea as him. He had originally planned to mobilize manpower to find out the truth and then hand the evidence to the county magistrate to make a judgment.

Now that Hang Shuheng has intervened, this is good. He is no longer willing to sell himself to that lazy county magistrate. Why should he investigate the case while that dog official reaps the benefits?

At that time, it would be best to hand over the evidence to Hang Shuheng and let him go to court to plead his case.

Anyway, Hang Shuheng is good at studying and has a sharp tongue. If someone must be the lawyer, Hang Shuheng is the most suitable candidate.

The next morning, Hang Shuheng and his wife arrived at the county town early.

Song Ning went to Zhou's house to meet up with Zhou Ru, and Hang Shuheng also met with Zhou Huan and they communicated with each other.

"Since you plan to take over, then the matter of investigating the truth will be handed over to you. Let Zhou Yin follow you. If there are any difficulties, you can mobilize people at any time to wait for your orders..."

After listening to Zhou Huan's arrangements, Hang Shuheng couldn't help but think of Song Ning's previous suspicions, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

Zhou Huan was confused by his smile and asked, "What's that expression on your face? What are you laughing at?"

He always felt that this kid was laughing at him secretly, but he couldn't think of anything about him that was worthy of his laughter.

Hang Shuheng kept smiling. Men are more direct in their way of expressing themselves, and they don't have the bad habit of beating around the bush like women do. So he said bluntly, "I think Uncle Zhou, you seem to be particularly concerned about Madam Mei's affairs."

Zhou Huan glanced at him and said without explaining anything, "Don't follow your wife's example. What you should do now is to find out the truth instead of speculating on what your uncle is thinking."
